The atmosphere in this game is it's best part. The crucifix section was done well! But it is lacking on clarity of what the player needs to do.
I found myself lost a lot trying to see where I should go. The player speed does not help this as you can't explore fast enough to know where you're going.
But I think the biggest factor for me is how dark it is. It's so dark that I can't recognize that I'm opening doors and I can't get a feel on where I am or where I need to go. I think darkness is good for horror games but only when correctly accompanied by light. Darkness can be sprinkled in at the right times.
Hope this helps!
Nailed the lighting and the spooky ambiance. Environment art was good but player art was lacking in comparison.
My video commentary here:
Very good atmosphere, feels creepy, artwork and lighting is nice. The animation is a little rough, and the walk speed is a bit slow, especially because I'm not sure where I'm going or what I'm supposed to be doing. I got the flash light, opened a chest, and moved through a couple rooms, found some drawers, but and got lost from there.
But Good job on mood and overall setting/feeling.
Thank you Ismael. I was aiming to land atmosphere artwork and light, that s why it leaked on code side. Thanks for feedback. I really enjoyed your game as well!
Good and beautiful game!
This game has excellent atmosphere, and I really like the art style and the ambient sound! It does a great job of making me feel unsettled and interested in the game and its story. I wasn't able to finish the game, because I couldn't really figure out what to do, so I'm not able to give a completely fair input on the game, but I will say that it got my attention right out the gate. The only thing I can recommend is maybe making the walk speed a little higher.
Very good spooky game!
I love everything about it: the atmosphere, the characters velocity, the camera, the art that not only looks great but also fits perfectly the game - Everything gave me the chills and got me excited to explore and play more!
Great work on this game!
The vibe is good! The atmosphere is creepy and great! But could use a tutorial or a small video on the game page! And trust me to use "zip" instead of "7z". Because people normally don't even install windows apps, and when they do it's better if u use zip.
thank you for advice!
amazing art and vibe!
Thank you means a lot!
